Thanks to our faculty and staff, and the hard work of our students, Fullerton College has many achievements to celebrate. The class of 2019 included more degrees earned than any other year in the history of the college. For the second time in the past three years, Fullerton College was ranked as the number one California Community College in transfer to the California State University (CSU) system. Last year, Fullerton College was also ranked number one in Hispanic/Latino students transferring to the CSU, and number two in female students transferring to the CSU, out of the 114 California Community Colleges. Fullerton College is proud of the fact that over two‐thirds of our students are first‐generation college students, and with the launch of the Anaheim Pledge and now the North Orange Promise, Fullerton College has experienced an increase in the number of first‐time college students attending full‐time. This is a very exciting time at the college as we strategically plan and invest state resources from the Strong Workforce, Student Equity and Achievement, and Guided Pathways initiatives. During the past year, we have reviewed our campus planning structure to support inclusive planning and decision‐making. Last year, a new Pathways Steering Committee and Student Equity and Achievement Committee were formed and are currently operating to support these important planning efforts. As proud as I am of the work our faculty and staff are doing, I am even more excited about the college we are becoming. Through reflection, data analysis and crucial conversations on institutional effectiveness, race and equity, and data informed decision‐ making, we will continue to experience the institutional effectiveness progress that our students and community deserve. I am extremely grateful to our faculty, classified professionals and members of our management team for their passion and commitment to help our students thrive. I would especially like to thank our Office of Institutional Effectiveness team for providing leadership and expertise in producing this report, including Interim Director Joe Ramirez, Senior Research Analyst Michael Gieck, Senior Research Analyst Megan Harris, Senior Research Analyst Victor Manchik and Administrative Assistant Emma Hangue. Greg Schulz, Ed.D. President Introduction The Fullerton College Institutional Effectiveness Report annually reviews college performance toward the achievement of its stated goals and objectives, in support of North Orange County Community College District strategic directions and California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office priorities. Annual review provides tracking and assessment of new initiatives implemented across the college and evaluation of college performance against accepted key indicators. The College’s Institution‐Set Standards are presented, which include newly identified standards surrounding completion of transfer‐level Math and English. The standards are reviewed by the Institutional Integrity Committee, who works with campus governing, planning, and decision‐making bodies to communicate the results of the review and to spur conversations on both the College’s standards and goals. Chapter one presents Fullerton College student and faculty demographics and background characteristics. Trends in the characteristics of enrolled students and employees at Fullerton College are exhibited and discussed. Chapter two focuses on institutional effectiveness measures. These measures include student enrollments, course success rates, degree and certification completion, and transfer outcomes. Differences among students with varying characteristics are also displayed and discussed in order to highlight key equity gaps the College is striving to address. Chapter three reviews key planning efforts and changes in governance structures that relate to institutional planning and resource allocation. While the chapter does not review each planning change experienced at the College, it does highlight major changes and initiatives that relate to the decision‐making structures and processes at the College. Finally, chapter four highlights key data regarding the population, education participation, and employment opportunities in Fullerton and North Orange County. Data regarding the surrounding communities provide insights into the demographic, economic, and educational contexts that affect the College. 2 Fullerton College’s Integrated Planning Cycle The Fullerton College Integrated Planning Model describes the components of the college planning process as well as the systems used to link components to one another in a cycle including the development of goals, objectives, resource allocation, plan implementation and evaluation. The Fullerton College Integrated Planning Model demonstrates a commitment to institutional effectiveness and continuous quality improvement. As part of Fullerton College’s cycle of continuous quality improvement, the college annually reviews and assesses implemented strategies and its strategic planning process as a prelude to a new cycle of strategic planning. Strategies and programs are reviewed and decisions are made to maintain, modify or improve various programs, activities and initiatives 3 Fullerton College Mission, Vision, and Values Fullerton College Mission Fullerton College advances student learning and achievement by developing flexible pathways for students from our diverse communities who seek educational and career growth, certificates, associate degrees, and transfer.

Standards reflect the “floor” or “baseline” levels of satisfactory performance of student learning and achievement below which the institution does not want to fall. Standards are different than improvement or target goals as goals are aspirational in nature. Federal (Higher Education Opportunities Act of 2008) and accreditation (ACCJC Standard IB3) regulations mandate that all higher education institutions establish institution‐set standards for student achievement, assess performance on student outcome metrics against the standards, and use this assessment to set goals for improvement when the standards are not being met. The regulation requires colleges to set standards for institution‐level and program‐level student success metrics. Program is defined as those leading to a degree or certificate of achievement.

In March 2019, after campus‐wide collaborations to address the findings and recommendations from the accreditation team, the College submitted the Accreditation Follow Up Report. Ultimately, the efforts resulted in the successful reaffirmation of accreditation for the remainder of the cycle from the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges, Western Association of Schools and Colleges. In May 2019, the College’s newest Student Equity Plan (2019‐2022) was adopted. It serves as a foundational document which outlines key goals, efforts, and data points regarding student equity. Through this document, the college ensures that student equity planning is incorporated into institution‐wide planning efforts such as accreditation, the educational master plan, Institutional Effectiveness goal setting, and the college goals for the Vision for Success. The Student Equity plan is intended to help colleges identify areas of disproportionate impact when breaking down student populations by gender in addition to race and ethnicity as well as disability, foster youth, veteran, sexuality and gender identity, or homelessness status. 45 Chapter IV: Fullerton College Environmental Scan This section of the report is designed to provide a comprehensive look at the external environment impacting Fullerton College. It summarizes the demographic, economic and educational changes at the state and national levels, in general, and in Orange County and the cities served by Fullerton College, more specifically, that are shaping the future for the College. When combined with the comprehensive internal overview information that describes the College’s faculty, staff and students, this section provides important information about the changing forces affecting Fullerton College as it moves forward. By monitoring these changes, Fullerton College will be in a better position to plan a direction that will best serve its students. Demographic Data Since 2015, the population of Orange County has increase by 2.2%, with a very modest growth in the County of less than 0.1% being measured over the last year. In looking more specifically at the population growth from the six major cities that are part of the Fullerton College service area, the population has increased by 1.6% since 2015. Over the last year, from 2018 to 2019, the population from the six feeder cities slightly increased by 0.3%; however, the population decreased when compared to the previous year in the cities of Fullerton (‐0.3%), Placentia (‐ 0.5%), and Yorba Linda (‐0.1%) while the cities of Anaheim, Brea, and La Habra increased slightly. This is important to note as the population growth and/or declines may have an impact on Fullerton College’s future enrollment. Table 17.
